Pinder, R. AND G. Hagler. Evolution of Air Measurement Technology and Monitoring Practices in the United States. International Workshop:How to Catalyze Clean Air Solutions in Latin America and the Caribbean for Achieving Health and Climate Goals, Bogata, N/A, COLOMBIA, October 05 - 06, 2022.
Impact/Purpose:
UNEP and EDF, along with the Intergovernmental Network on Atmospheric Pollution for Latin America and the Caribbean, are co-hosting this international workshop "to move forward the implementation of the Regional Action Plan and facilitate dialogue between national and subnational governments, civil society, grassroot, and private sector organizations, as well as international agencies, non-profit organizations and philanthropic organizations and academia." The Regional Action Plan refers to an air quality management plan building collaborative solutions among Latin American countries to achieve reductions in air pollution. The co-presented talk from EPA was requested to share about how newer air monitoring technologies are being utilized in the United States.
Description:
This presentation provides an overview of the evolving state of air monitoring in the United States, covering both regulatory and non-regulatory observational data collected through a variety of technologies. This brief talk will provide an explanation of the evolving state of air sensor technology and explain the context in which it is being utilized in the United States. We will also explain the variety of objectives driving air monitoring and how these objectives determine the appropriate measurement technology implemented.
